week 1.
Hmm dunno, first impression is ick, but it is growing on me.....
Week 3
Oh my!
Many seem to poo poo steeping or perhaps judge off the shake or a few days later. I have consistantly found that the 3 week mark is the sweet spot for more complex mixes and it has been a revelation how a mix can turn around during that time. This has been another example of that.
This is fantastic with a decadent and full bodied creamy experience.
The flavors seem to compliment perfectly with the fig standing up without standing out and the cherry joining the party on the tail. it has a boozy note along with nice tobacco note that is not in any way to smokey.
There is a slight fudgyness along with a nut vibe warpped around the caramel
I seem to have hit the perfect sweetness as well.
I will be mixing this again immediately for the ADV shelf.
